Right on Target, Day and Night

At Russia Arms EXPO 2013 (RAE 2013), the IX International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment, and Ammunition, KBP Instrument Design Bureau will present the B05Ya01 weapons complex for armored vehicles, fitted with a fire control system and the Kornet-E  ATGW. 

This module is designed to be fitted on BMP-1 and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as to Russian and international IFVs and APCs. Mounted on the standard chassis, the module provides great firepower with its 30-mm automatic cannon, four launchers for the Kornet-E third-generation ATGW system, an AG-30 30-mm automatic grenade launcher, and a new automated day-and-night fire control system. The total firepower is greater than that of today's best infantry fighting vehicles. 

The new weapons complex of the upgraded BMP-2 allows engaging almost any target at ranges of up 8,000 meters, at any time of day, on the move or while floating. The Kornet-E ATGW system is capable of engaging explosive-reactive armored targets, including new-generation battle tanks and fortifications. Besides, this complex can provide continuous fire support for advancing tanks. 

The KBP Instrument Design Bureau is one of the leading design and construction organizations in Russia's defense industry. Since 2008, KBP has been part of Rostec State Corporation, being one of the key organizations within the High-Precision Weapons holding.
